Picking the right career field can keep you from experiencing disappointment when job hunting. There is so much competition for jobs right now. That is why it is important to find a career track that is growing and not contracting. You need to consider the best potential for job growth, pay, stress level, job satisfaction, and other factors. 

It’s no secret that the job market has changed a great deal over the past decade or so. Our progress in many sectors has led to the creation of jobs that didn’t even exist twenty years ago, and that trend shows no signs of slowing down. 

One of the main drivers of the flux and upheaval in the job market has been the Tech industry. It’s actually been a huge driver of employment in the last few years. Statistics show that from 2004 to 2014, the number of tech jobs grew 31% faster than any other high-growth sectors.

Apple products are still some of the most popular tech appliances in their respective fields, and any time there’s a need for development on an Apple-compatible project, you’ll need a Swift developer. With rumors that Google is considering opening Swift up for Android development, opening the need for top-notch Swift programmers will only grow faster in the coming years.
